Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC10PW-Q100J

Overview

74HC10PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade triple 3-input NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with CMOS-level inputs, 6 V absolute max supply voltage, and propagation delay as low as 9 ns at VCC = 6 V. It serves as a logic combinatorial element in vehicle body control modules, lighting controllers, and powertrain interface circuits where noise-immune digital gating is required.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC10PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC10PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC10PW-Q100 application, or 74HC10PW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, TTL/CMOS input compatibility context, and real-world timing behavior under 50 pF load conditions.

Technical Context

This device implements three independent 3-input NAND gates with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors. Each gate follows standard Boolean logic: output is LOW only when all three inputs are HIGH; otherwise output is HIGH.

It supports dual logic families: 74HC10PW-Q100 uses CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V), while its 74HCT10PW-Q100 variant accepts TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V). Both share identical pinout, package, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification across -40 °C to +125 °C.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HC10PW-Q100?

The 74HC10PW-Q100 is a combinational logic gate-not a clocked device-so it has no defined clock frequency. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and load: with 50 pF load and VCC = 6 V, tpd = 9 ns (typ), supporting reliable operation up to ~30 MHz in feedback-free logic paths. System-level timing must account for worst-case 25 ns delay at VCC = 2 V and high temperature.

Can 74HC10PW-Q100 drive LEDs directly?

Yes-each output can sink or source up to ±25 mA, sufficient to drive standard 2 mA–10 mA indicator LEDs with appropriate series resistors. For example, at VCC = 5 V and VOL = 0.26 V (max), a 470 Ω resistor yields ~10 mA forward current. Avoid sustained DC drive above 20 mA per output to stay within total package power limit of 500 mW.

Does 74HC10PW-Q100 support mixed-voltage interfacing?

It supports limited mixed-voltage use via input clamp diodes: inputs may be driven by signals up to VCC + 0.5 V if current-limited to ≤20 mA using external resistors. However, outputs swing between GND and VCC only-no level-shifting capability. Interfacing to higher-voltage logic requires external translators; interfacing to lower-voltage logic is safe if input thresholds are met.

How does 74HC10PW-Q100 differ from commercial-grade 74HC10PW?

The "-Q100" suffix denotes full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification: extended temperature testing (-40 °C to +125 °C), enhanced ESD robustness (HBM > 2000 V), rigorous lot traceability, and failure-rate validation per automotive standards. Electrically, parameters are identical-but only -Q100 parts carry the documentation, test records, and manufacturing controls required for automotive PPAP submission.
